Performance

Asics Gel Resolution 9 is the updated model of the Gel Resolution line.

Asics breaks its padel shoes into two categories: control and speed. The Gel Resolution sits at Asics' top of the line for control

This line was originally created for baseline tennis players, prioritizing stability in lateral movements, and was adapted to padel with changes in the sole and midsole.

Note that this shoe comes in two options: the classic clay tennis herringbone sole for sandy courts and the newly developed modified herringbone for new curled turf courts.

Asics Gel Resolution herringbone sole
The herringbone sole has high traction and is better for sandy traditional turf courts
Asics Gel Resolution padel sole
The padel sole has medium traction, best for low sand curled turf courts

This shoe excels for players who desire stability. We recommend these for those with experience or fear of rolling their ankle.

It's also extremely durable. After a year of roughly 3 times per week on the court, this shoe still looks basically brand new.

Its stability and robustness comes with a cost: weight and breathability.

It's a heavy shoe whose rigidity does not allow for the ventilation of the foot.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

I’m surprised by how much more I liked these than the previous versions of the Gel Resolution. A top pick for ankle sprainers; avoid if you have bunion issues.

The “DynaWall” has ridiculous side to side containment", and the heel counter has extra bunting and padding. The external heel counter connects with the DynaWall, which gives you a lot of structure.
8.0
Cushion
There’s a layer of gel underneath the toe and the heel. The external structure of the shoe allows the foam to be more forgiving, which maintaining the support you need. Great for extreme toe draggers - very wear resistant - the ultimate shoe for “upper durability”

Breathability
The upper is a mix of a mesh weave topped with a urethane shell.

Maneuverability
Great bounce performance due to the Flyte Foam, consistent shock absorption. These shoes are heavy, but they give me a lot of energy back due to the bounce effect.

The Gel Resolution 9s are very similar to the Gel Resolution 8s with a updated materials in the upper, which felt a bit more snug and had a reduced break-in time. It’s a really stable and durable shoe.

We recommend this shoe to large players who usually play in the back of the court and seek stability. One of the best shoes on the market for its technologies and comfort.
